On The Phone With Josh

E167 – Territorial Spirits?

Are there angels or spirits that are responsible for cities, towns, and regions? When John is commanded, “To the angel of the church of Ephesus write…” what does that mean? Does it mean a real angel? Are there other passages of scripture that can inform our thinking?

E166 – Formation and Church Administration

Boring. Unspiritual. Unimportant. Drudgery. These may be words that many of us would associate with church administration. But what if we thought differently about the less glamorous parts of running a church? What if godly character, wisdom, and prayerfulness were just as needed in these areas as anywhere else in ministry? Join us on this episode to discuss the intersection of spiritual formation and church administration. And let us know how you think this impacts your churches and your particular work.   Follow us on: https://www.facebook.com/OnThePhoneWithJosh [https://www.facebook.com/OnThePhoneWithJosh] https://www.instagram.com/onthephonewithjosh/ [https://www.instagram.com/onthephonewithjosh/] https://www.threads.net/@onthephonewithjosh [https://www.threads.net/@onthephonewithjosh]

E165 – LORD or YHWH?

Should we use the divine name? Josh from Oregon makes a case that we should consider doing so. Of course, we want to be sure not to use God’s name in vain. But what did God mean by that in the first place?

E163 – Psalm 19

Psalm 19 begins with famous lines about the heavens declaring the splendor of the Lord. But the Psalm goes on to talk about much, much more. In fact, the Psalm can be seen in three parts: praise for creation, praise for God’s law, and a searching prayer of petition. How do these things fit together? Join us as we dive headlong into the richness of this psalm.   Follow us on: https://www.facebook.com/OnThePhoneWithJosh [https://www.facebook.com/OnThePhoneWithJosh] https://www.instagram.com/onthephonewithjosh/ [https://www.instagram.com/onthephonewithjosh/] https://www.threads.net/@onthephonewithjosh [https://www.threads.net/@onthephonewithjosh].   Books Mentioned on the Podcast: Eliot, T.
